Televisi Republik Indonesia (TVRI) operates as Indonesia’s national public television broadcaster and the archipelago’s oldest television network, having launched on August 24, 1962, to cover the opening ceremony of Jakarta’s Asian Games. The state broadcaster maintained a television monopoly until 1989 when commercial competitor RCTI began operations, forcing TVRI to adapt to Indonesia’s evolving media landscape.
